Opdyke Cemetery Tidbits

Submitted By: Ray L. Bellande - rbellande@cableone.net

Many volunteers have worked very hard to provide the researchers of Jefferson County a listing of Cemeteries and to provide pictures of headstones to help you in your personal research.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE the cemetery listings and pictures that others have worked so hard to provide and add it to any other website as your own.

Thank You for understanding and respecting the work of others.


Tucker, Jacob C.        1845            1916            

Jacob C. Tucker (1845-1917) lived in Ocean Springs, Mississippi from circa 1905 to circa 1916. 
A native of Alabama and Civil War veteran.

He expired on November 18, 1917 at Ensley, Alabama the home of a daughter. 
His corporal remains were sent to the Opdyke Cemetery for internment. 

Listing for this cemetery has his death year as 1916. 
Maybe his tombstone was erected years after his passing and the family? forgot the year???
